Bab Al Shams Desert Resort & Spa launches new spa holiday ideas

With its unrivalled location in the heart of the desert, leading destination spa and unique dining experiences, the resort typifies luxury in every sense.

Easily accessible from Dubai, the award-winning hotel is now offering two new romantic packages for a limited time only.

Perfect for Valentine’s Day, the newly launched packages – available until April 2015 – are a great excuse to escape the city at any time whether you choose to wholeheartedly embrace the day or perhaps, celebrate at another time.

Literally translated from Arabic, Bab Al Shams means, ‘Gateway to the sun’ and in this way the five star resort truly lives up to its name - built in and around an oasis, guests can enjoy a traditional Arabian experience.

The suitably titled Indulgence Package strikes a balance between adventurous and spoiling with pool access, lunch at laid-back restaurant Al Forsan, sunset camel rides, 30-minute archery session with expert on hand, falcon show, lawn games and a 20 per cent discount on a slumber inducing couples massage at the resort’s renowned Satori Spa.

If couples want to completely switch off, the Romantic Package includes a treatment for two consisting of Reflexology and Balinese massage, complimentary light snacks, pool access, plus use of one of the resort’s 115 spacious rooms.

Couples can end the day with a candlelit dinner in the dunes whilst enjoying a bottle of sparkling grape to share.
